Description
“Human beings are drawn close to one another by their Common nature, but habits and customs keep them apart.”–Confucius
Understanding that we have differences is the first step in solving the mystery of Cross Cultural Leadership.
As we get familiar with these differences we can ‘change our own attitude’, be ‘mindful’ in communication with others, successfully get our message across and make business.
Besides distance and language, leading efficiently across cultures also means profiling and adapting your message to a very different audience, many times with very different or even opposed values than you are accustomed to. This can be difficult and even a daunting task in many organizations, one of the main causes being the assumption that the company’s culture is one no matter the place of the office or the personal preferences of employees. While this may be true up to a level, communication has nuances and characteristics that go beyond the regulated corporate behavior – it is deeply rooted with people. That is why, getting trained at spotting and using Cross Cultural Leadership becomes one of the top skills of managers and leaders in international companies. The training covers the competences needed to face cross-cultural contexts and challenges in a successful manner:
Profiling the Other Culture.
Adapting you style to the Other Culture.
Modulating.
